There's a reason the NRA wants to keep the terror gap open

  • 0 Comments
  • by: PolitiComm

The FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and the NYPD Intelligence Division are currently investigating threats against New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg as well as the Director of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Both men received envelopes containing ricin over the weekend. Before the gun crazies start jumping up and down disclaiming the terrorist moniker it should be made clear that the connection to gun violence prevention was more than just implied.

According to NBC News:

The writer made threatening comments about Bloomberg’s support for gun control, NYPD Deputy Commissioner for Public information Paul Browne said.  The letter to Bloomberg was opened on Sunday, and the letter in Washington was opened on Friday.​ 

So, just to recap: Mayors Against Illegal Guns supports common sense public safety laws like background checks on gun sales (90% support) and prohibiting people on the terrorist watch list from purchasing or possessing a gun (88% support).

Surely, you say, keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists is a policy that the NRA could support!

Well, you're wrong.  And that fact begs the question: Why does the NRA want terrorists–like those who sent ricin-laced letters to a public official–to have access to guns?
